SPIMT or TI-It PUBLIC JOIYIINALS. One of those contemptible farces, called the Hemp. shire Pitt Club, held its annual Meeting at Win. cheater last week, and was attended by no less (or more should we rather say ?) than eleven persons, and of these, two were country gentlemen, six clergymen, and the rest " persons unknown," And is this really all that remains of Pitt principles in Mr. Hose's own county, where, while the Minister lived, and bad the disposal of all the good things of life, caps were tossed up by hundreds—nay, by thousands, in his praise ? u How dumb the tuncliil !" What is become even of those who to this hour aro revelling in the sweets of Mr. Pitt's providing ? had they not one hour to bestow upon the memory of the man whose deeds they at least feel the consequences of? Or is the thing become in itself so truly ridiculous and out of place that they are ashamed any longer to countenance it ? In fact, it is high time for this foolery to be at an end. Lord Somers, in the case of the Herefordshire Club, has shown the utter absurdity and inconsistency of the thing; for what, for the most part, are these Pitt Clubs become, but a mere knot of Clergy getting to gether to promote and keep alive an opposition to, one of the most prominent and notorious of Mr. Pitt's principles ! Of this Hampshire Pitt Club a corres pondent remarks, that its announcement has for seve rid years been made in very nearly the same words, and its meetings attended by , nearly the very same peopl e ; so that had the provincial Papers bad the para. graph stereotyped, they would have been saved, the trouble of every year recomposing the very same ar. tiele.—Morning Herald. A Meeting will be held to-day, to consider whether the Shareholders in the Chilian and Peruvian Mining Scheme shall proceed with the thing, or give it up, before more money flies from their pockets. We re : commend the Shareholders to give it up as soon as poasible, for, from the first, it is as precious a bit o f humbug as ever, John Bull was inveigled into. We recommended the Public, when first we heard of it, to have nothing to do with it ; but no, John Bull's mouth was wide open for large gains, little capital to be advanced, and no trouble, but, merely meeting to talk and pass Resolutions for Miners, Secretaries, and other worthies to execute. 0 John I what re blind buzzard bast thou been for the last two years, and yet you call this the intellectual age 1 And you are going to have a University that is to cost not more than 150,000/. Now mark—before . you have ddne with that University, the builders will got the Council out of the Contract, and your University will not cost you much less than half a million, or even a million, in eluding books and other paraphernalia.—lbid. It would appear from an article in The New Monthly Magazine for November, entitled Sketches of Pa. Tilden Society," that a sort of. counterpart of the very amusing farce lately acted at Kingston by the Surrey JUslices, was exhibited about the same time at Paris, Never, (says the vivacious Frenchman?, perhaps, were so acute and intelligent a people as the French, ruled by so silly a Government. As a proof of this, I shall not enter into a detail of circumstances, which would not, per haps, be easily understood by foreigners : I will merely Bive you the foll ow i ng f act . Th ere i s a Th eatre on t h e oulevards of Paris, similar to your Coburg Theatre in London. At this Theatre there was recently announced a piece, entitled f Le Pauvre de l'llotel Dieu.' The great hospital called L'Hotel Dieu being situated on the Place de Notre Dame, where the action of the melodrama was supposed to take place, it was necessary that one of the scenes should represent the church, with its tine Go -04 portico, told two, towers ; Lit our pious Government was. *Locked at the idea of the holy edifice being represen ted on the stagea place excommunicated by the Galli eau church. The Dramatic Censorship informed the ma nagers of the Theatre tie Is Gaietc that they could only be permitted, at the very most, to represent a side view of Notre Dame. The managers, though not a little este tithed at this singular communication, nevertheless rested their scene painter to prepare a different view of the Cathedral of Paris. The painter, obedient to the orders of the Censor, produced a new scene, exhibiting only one wing and one of the towers of Notre Dame.— At length came the night !bled for the performance of the Pauvre de l'llotel Dieu,' but just us the curtain was abont to rise, a gendarme arrived at full gallop, with a fresh order from the Prefect of Police, intimating, that not oven a side view of the Church of Notre Dame must be profanely represented in a theatre. The managers were consequently obliged to make use of their old scenes; and the performers of the Theatre de la Gaicte, not being restrained by any etiquette, related the above anecdote, which in a few days was publicly circulated through Paris. Only imagine what may be done in the provinces when such absurdities are committed in Paris, in the face of six free journals. • Bid pray observe the Machinery, if I may it s origin. express myself, in which this singular order had • origin. The Censor and the Clerks who wrote it felt its absurdity as much as the public did, and were the first to laugh at it in priVate. But what care they how much the Bourbon Government is degraded by such measures ? The Censor and the Clerks are well aware that their ad vancement will be more rapid, in proportion as their or• tiers are extravagant and ridiculous, We, leave it to others to determine whether the alarm of Mr. I-1. Sumner least our late Most Gracious Majesty George the Third should be thrust into the City o f the Plague at the Cobourg, or that the French employ 6, lest the Church of Notre Dame should fon' n the subject of the scenery of a piece at the Theatre 'of the Boulevards, is the richest treat. But this we can say, that even with the appendage of the gensdarme rushing into the Theatre when the curtain was about to be drawn, to prevent the profanation of the Church, even by the representation of a side view of it, the French exhibition appears to have been 'altogether a lime business compared with the successive displays at Kingston. We hope some Frenchman will translate, fer the edification of his countrymen, the whole of the most amusing scene of the Vauxhall Licensing, as re ported in a late number of ibis .Tournal. But we fear the national vanity of our neighbours, will not allow tbem to afford its this triumph. They would as soon think of writing a candid account of the Battle of Waterloo, as of doing justice to the merits of the Magistracy, the very Surrey f lower of the 44 Great Unpaid." The French correspondent ' of The New Monthly reveals the Secret, of th e s uper i or i t y of our neighbours. ‘; The Censor and the Clerks absurdity, (he says), who wrote the order,. felt its Were the first as much M the public di , q, and • pr iv ate. Now, in II to laugh at A t t o pr our op, Il ion, men who are - themselves conscious Ariat - * they are acting an absurd part, are infinitely less smug. ing than men' who exhibit absurdity without being e on . scions of it. We will undertake to say there was not our of the actors in the Vauxhall drama, who WAS not seriously persuaded that every sente nce he uttered was inspired by absolute wisdom. Our Magistrates are utter strangers to that dread of ridicule witch haunts even the Parisian gendarme, Heaven having , • fortu nately for us, denied them the perception of the ridi culous. Hence the moment the. affair of Notre Dame got wind, the poor French Employe would, no doubt, Withdraw his order. But we have seen that every year the Surrey Licensing Exhibition has been rising in richness. The - exhibition of last year was More amus ing than that of the preceding year, and that of the present year, rich as it is, will probably be exceeded by that of the next. The actors, so far from being dis heartened by the perception of any supposed want of sympathy with their labours, on the part of the public, derive fresh courage from every successive display.— How far Mr. Gyc will feel consoled by knowing that the Magistrates, in destroying his property, have given so marked a triumph to the nation, we cannot exactly say. Had he been under a French Police; his pro perty iniett have suffered less; but his patriotism may induce him to make light of this. He ought to frame and . glaie the Report m The Chronicle, and stick it up in one of the most conspicuous parts of the Gardens next summer; and we think we can assure him, that it will not be one of the poorest treats of the place.- -Morning chronicle. OLD BAILEY, TUESDAY, OCT. 31. (Before Mr. Justice PARX and Mr. Baron GARROW.) ARSON. Charles Thomas White, aged 23, who stood indicted for feloniously setting fire to mid burning a certain house, situate in the parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, nod whose trial not being concluded yesterday when we were obliged to go, to press, we now give the conclusion : When called upon for his defence, the prisoner (who had been allowed to sit during the greater part of the time), rose, and read from a paper nit address, which was in substance to this effect :—He began by requesting the in dulgence of the jury, while he called their attention to the chief facts on which the prosecutors rested their charge against him. Thu main points on which his prosecutors stood were—that the fire had been caused by two links ; and that a man whom he was said to resemble, or for whom he was taken ' had purchased two links the day before, at the shop of Mr. Bradford, in the neighbourhood, and that therefore he was the man who had kindled the fire. Now to these points he was able to give a most satisfactory answer. A. friend of his sat with him the night before the fire, and remained till near twelve o'clock, at which time he retired to rest. Prisoner then went on to describe the situation of the sleeping rooms of the dif ferent inmates of the house, and observed, that Lazarus, though sleeping in the room most remote from the place where the fire broke out, was the first to discover it, and gave the alarm to his (prisoner's) servant, who called him and his wife. The servant of Lazarus came down partly dressed, and as suspicion had attached to her from a former fire, she was given into custody by her master, and not by him. The defence next went on to detail the steps taken by prisoner to give information to the fire-office, and his readiness to give every assistance to the inquiries instituted by the parish. He particularly called the attention of the jury to the purchase of the links at Bradford's, which was only about a hundred yards from the house where he (the prisoner) was born, and close by the house where he had served his time. Was it pro bable that if he were disposed to purchase links for any bad purpose, he would have gone into the very neighbourhood m which he was known from his youth, and where the purchase could not have failed to call forth half a dozen questions from those who knew him ? He farther added, that he had offered a reward, first of two and then of five guineas, to the person who had bought the links at Brad ford's, but that person had not come forward. The defence again noticed the efforts made by the prisoner to discover the author of the fire, and observed that his property, stock in trade, &c. were worth more than 2,000/., though he could not have recovered more than for that amount at the time. Ho concluded by requesting the particular at tention of the jury to these facts, aid by expressing a per fect confidence that their verdict would be in his favour. During the reading of this defence, as well as 'during the whole trial, the prisoner's demeanour' was perfectly cool and collected. Several respectable witoesects, who hadirnowvi the pri tioner ninny years, were then called, who gave him a good character for honesty (hiring that time. Mr. Justice PARK summed up the evidence with very great minuteness, commenting as he proceeded on the se veral points as they made for and against the prisoner. In the course of the trial, the prisoner said that the tailor who had made his morning-gown was in Court, and he could prove that it was always of the same length. Mr. Justice PARK said it was strange that this fact should not have been noticed before. It was irregular; but, however, he Would 'allow the man to be examined. Mr. Kinsale, the tailor in question (who had already given prisoner a character), proved that he made the morn mg-gown (before produced). He now examined it, and could say that it was, as to length, in the same state in which it had left his hands. By Mr, ALLEY.—I. have been present during the sum ming up of the Learned Judge. The Learned JUDGE then proceeded with his summing up ; and at its conclusion, the Jury, after deliberating for above a quarter of an hour (in Court), handed a written paper to the Judge. His Lordship then had Margaret Drewe recalled—who, in answer to questions, replied that she had the care of the kitchen occupied by Lazarus. She left no fire in the grate the night of the fire. She NMI not in the habit of taking up , the fire, but she let it go out of itself. She had left neither fire nor light in the kitchen when she left it that night. When she met Mr. White on the stairs that night, he had a candle in his hand. The Jury now expressed a wish to retire, and having been absent from Court for about half an hour, returned with a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner, who appeared to labour under much anxiety while the Jury were deliberating (in tho Coat), had been allowed to retire from Court for a short time.— When he heard the verdict, his face assumed a most deadly paleness. He put his hands up to his- forehead for an in stant, and wept bitterly,- but not aloud. He was led to his seat, but in a moment he fell back in a fainting fit, and in that state he was removed from Court. Mr. Justice PARK now asked Mr. Alley, whether it was his intention to proceed with the other indictments against the prisoner. Mr, ALLEY, after having begged a few minutes to con sider,. stated to his Lordship, that if he entertained the slightest doubt of the justice of the verdict which the jury had just delivered, he should feel it necessary to go on with the other indictments; but being satisfied with the correctness of what the jury had decided, he felt that it would be an unnecessary waste of the public time to go farther. The other indictments will therefore be withdrawn. The trial lasted nearly eight hours, and excited the most intense interest throughout. Mr. Knapp, the Clerk of the Arraigns and for the Home County, has resigned that office, sto be succeeded by Mr. Clark, who has so long acted m aoteot.rr.ee *militant to Mr. Shelton, in the Old B arl ey. Knapp retains his office as Associate in the C our t, o f Common Pleas. MELANCHOLY EVENT.—Between five and six months ago, a boy between six and seven years of age, who lived with his grandf a th e r in Leith, was missing. The most mi nu te search Was ma d e , b u t no t race o f him could be found till Friday last, when some of the workmen who are occasionally . employed to Pumping water from a well at the foot of the Bennington road , near Leith, found something interrupting the water. A Pel was found to be the cause of the stoppage ! was sent fey to clear the pump, when the bead of a yam% bo y of the, body were fotind but in a very mutilated state, from the The remaining parts length of time it had remained in the water. The mother of the shove bo y went and claimed the body, which she identified merely Iron, the buttons on his Clothes. lie was interred in South Leith ehilreb-yard n Monday. This case is rendered still more melan choly from the cirenntsttuice that the boy's grandfather and grand motitcr were so much attached to him, that the grandmother died in a few days after missi ng 14, , and t he grandfather in aboUttwo weeks, both of broken heart, for the lost of a btloYed Ma" LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT' OF COMMON PLEAS, Oct. 51. tolrtitiqs IN rattuuktt, AT lasi paws, IiEFORE Tilt LOAri CHIEF -MIMICS AND A arrclAr. JURY. SERGEANTS' INN. ' XING V. DUTTERWOILTII. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN stated the plaintiff's case. It was an action of trespass brought by Mr. King, a gentleman residing at No. 11, at Sergeants' Inn, Fleet -street, against the parish officers of the parish of St. Dunstan's in the West, for seizing and taking his goods in execution for parish rates ; if Sergeants' Inn was really and truly part of St. Dungan's, the action would not stand ; it had been considered as extra-parochial for centuries past. The Learned Sergeant did not call any witnesses ; but rested his case chiefly on : the decision of the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, respecting navies' Inn, in the cause of " Marsden v. Ramsay." Mr. Serjeant Wat.vs, for the defendant, contended, that nume rous : deedei and documents, from the time of Queen Elizabeth up to the present period, had described Serjeants' Inn as being is the parish of St. Dunstan's in tha , West • there was no reason in the argument that, because it had' not been .rated, it was not now rate able. At the time of the Chapel of the Inn being consecrated, it was described in the parish of St. Dunstan's in the West. Several witnesses were examined for the defendant by Mr. Serjeant Srartsta. They produced documents from various Go vernment Offices, in which Serjeants' Inn was described as being in the parish of St. Dunstan's, --. Hopkins, the parish clerk, produced a doomsday-book, made in the time of Queen Elizabeth, in which was an item of Gs. 2d. by the Judges and Sergeants, towards defraying the ex pence of providing buckets and ladders in case of fire. The Loan Cum JUSTICZ said, that it appeared that this was a subscription by the inhabitants for a given purpose ; and it was no rule that because a person iiving in an extra-parochial place paid a subscription, that he vela to be considered as being part of the inhabitants of the parish. Mr. Sergeant Wane coutended, that as iu the book it was entered as monies paid by the parishioners, it was good evidence as to the Judges and Serjeants considering themselves as part of those parishioners. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, in cross-examining Hopkins, asked whether witness did not produce this book in Court in the action concerning Serjeants' Inn, Chancery-lane ? Witness replied in the affirmative. Mr. Sergeant WiLDE explained thus--bt the time of Queen Elisabeth, both the judges and serjeants were very tuuch mutated, and no doubt they were inhabitants of both the Inns. The witness ilopkius, produced a Scavenger'e Rate Book, dated in 1628, in which both the Inns had been rated. The Loan CHM' JUSTICE, said that it could not be received, es there was no Act of Parliament, authorising the parish officers to collect such a rate. Mr. Sergeant NV;Los contended, that this was the original rate made by the Coniino n Council of the Ward. The - Loan Cntze JUSTICE then said, that he presumed what had been always done must be right, therefore he should receive it as evidence. The parish minute-book for 1605 was produced ; the church warden bad there given an account of certain payments be had made for the repair of the Judges' pews in St. Dunstan 's church, and the payment of la. 6d. for "feat water" for the Judges of Sergeants' Inn. Au order was also read for the providing of one dozen cushions for the Judges' pews in the church. After some farther uninteresting discussion the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 151., the amount of the rate. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATI ERSALL'S.,Ocr. 31.

(From the London New Pries Current of Tuesday.) SUGAR.-There was a considerable improvement in the demand for Muscovades, last week; the purchases were made by the trade, who appeared to be completely out of stock; the prices were a shade higher, and a firm market. The public sale of_4,soobags Mauritius Sugar on Friday, went off with briskneis at an'advance of U. per cwt. The Sugar Market opened heavily this morning, on account of a further accumulation of Stock of 3,500 casks, compared With the stock of 1825. The deliveries from the ware houses continue extensive, and fully equal to last year,but there are evidently larger importations. It ought, how ever, to be observed, that the stocks of Sugar on the 'con tinent are much less than the previous year. The buyers evinced no disposition to purchase this Morning, waiting the event of the public sales of Mauritius Sugars. Towards the conclusion of the day, the request for Muscovades greatly revived ; we estimate the purchases by private con- , tract at 1,000 casks, and the 7,970 bags Mauritius at public sale went off with briskness, the good qualites rather higher; brown, 58s. a 565.; yellow, 575. a 645. 6d. In refined goods last week there were considerable purchases, and the stork of shipping goods, whieh has lately been accu. mulating, was again cleared off, and scarcely any parcels of Lumps were on sale. The wholesale grocers were also at market for the home consumption ; they purchased several parcels, but only for immediate consumption, and still on a limited scale. The market is so completely cleared of Lumps, that the buyers have turned their attention to single and powder loaves of low quality, 80s. a 835., which have been taken in in large parcels for crushing ; the exten sive buyer of the latter still increasing his purchase, which the trade is unable to supply. The wholesale groceri for the home trade purchase the fine goods still on a limited scale. Molasses are firm. There were reports of the sales of foreign Sugars last week, but they were without any foundation ; the holders continue firm, in the anticipatiOli of higher prices. FRUIT.-There appears a good demand for new Fruit, but the buyers are deterred from purchasing on an exten sive scale, on account of the importers forcing them, on the Market by public sale, the instant the arrivals take place. Yesterday, by public sale, a cargo of new Malaga Raisins was offered ; the quality was very fine-5,227 boxes.6Bs.; 1,137 half boxes 705.; 2,568 baskets 445. ; a very small proportion was sold ; but afterwards, we under stand, that on 'Change considerable parcels were taken by the trade at the prices we have stated. The public sale to-day, new Muscatels sold 6/. 10s. for the double boxes in paper ; 51. ss: for, the common ; half 51. 15s. a 51. 18s. ; new Imperial Plums - 51. a 61. 10s. small boxes in cases; new Jordan Almonds 10/. 12s. a 10/. 13s. SPICES.-Eaot India Spices are exceedingly heavy, on account of the declaration of sale by the Company, and the near approach of the prompt day ; we are not aware, however, of any parcels offering at a reduction, except Nutmegs, which are offered about 3s. Qd. a 3s. Bd. for the best quality.-White Pepper is again advancing, being in few hands ; the parcels which we lately noticed at public sales have been selling by private contract, we understand, about 3s. per lb. IRISH PROVISIONS.-India Beef offers at 64 7s. 6d. to 6/. , 105. ; New Mess 4/. 10e.; New India Pork 51. 15s. a 61. ; New mess at 31. 17s. 6d., and few buyers.-The Beef and Pork here are little varied in price.-Butters firm. OI L . .The Oil 'Market continues very heavy; the prices of Greenland and other Oils are nearly nominal, as very few buyers appear, and they purchase on the most for immediate consumption. Rim-The East India Rice noticed at public sale this day week. were taken in; since been all sold about 16s. Bd. a 17e. 6d.; no parcels of good Bengal now offer under 17e.• There is little Carolina at market. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.-The high price of Tal low in Russia, the advance of the season, and the addi tional expellee of freight and other charges for Tallow shipped to England, bringing the price to 40s. and 41s. laid down here, appears to have no effect on the market prices. hemp maintains the late advance. In Flax there la no alteration worth reporting. INDIGO.--The Indigo sale finished on Thursday last.- The India sale had the effect of greatly advancing the In digoes from South America. The public sale of Friday, 691 serons Guatimala went off with great briskness at a further advance of 6d. a Is. per lb. on the previous cur rency, or about ls. per lb. on the low, and 2s. per lb. on the fine, since the lowest point of the market two months ago.

B ran di es continued in request, and were Id. per gall. higher; the holders still speculating on the commercial treaty with France, and that the duties on Brandy would be considerably reduced. Ge neva continues so scarce that the market prices cannot be rotated with any accuracy. CoFFER.—The public sales of Coffee last week went off heavily, but without any material reduction in the prices; St. Domingo, 485.; line ordinary. Brazil, 495. a 495. 6d. The public sale of Jamaica Coffee to-day 109 casks 27 bags went off rather higher; good ordinary Jamaica, 545. 6d, • middling to good middling, 80s. The ma r ket is certainly more firm, there is still little doing, and the languid appearance of trade generally continues uwaaried; the nearest price for St. Domingo, 485. SILR.—The quantity taken far export is unusually ex. tensire. The fine Italian Silks have advanced consider ably TOBACCO.—There are no sales of Tobacco; the holders and the trade look with anxiety for the steam-boat from Holland (due yesterday), which will bring the report of the large sales in Holland, which has lately attracted so much attention, and which will probably regulate in some measure the future prices. The 'letters by the steam-boat from Holland were delivered about half-past two o'clock ; such was the anxiety of the Tobacco holders, that the par ticulars of the sale in Holland transpired immediately on the arrival of the boat; the whole 1,170 hhds. Virginia the Bale a had t 2d a . per lb. Tobacco sold; the average, taking the present rate of Ex change, :3-1(1. per.lli.; the result of favour able effect on , the Market in Holland. TEA.--The .Twitokay. Teas are offered discount; all t h e et h er descriptions are without alteration; the cause of the decline in Twankay Tea, is that the in. creased demand one or two years ago has caused an tm unsual supply, and the late arrivals are of a very inferior quality to what the trade were previously used to, and which was in fact the cause of- the increase of the con sumption to which we have alluded. SALTPETRE.--.-ThCret is a considerable demand for Salt petre; the prices are a shade higher. PLAY IN HIGH LIFE.—We are authorised to state, that the paragraph on the aboie subject, which a ppeared in The Times, did not emanate, either d irec tly or indirectly, from Mr. Howard, the profes sional gentleman employed to recover the money lost on the occasion ; the circumstances of the transaction A re about to undergo an investigation by two gantle t/ten of distinction, named by each of the parties.
